Death sentence turned into acquittal? Who told him to be a detective!

Chapter 138 Four Million? What a load of rubbish! [A long chapter of 4,000 words!]

"Attorney Zhou, do you think I'm a litigious quack?"

Xu Liang's face suddenly turned cold, and he stared straight at Zhou Ke in front of him.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire law firm turned cold.
Zhou Ke gradually suppressed his smile, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Xu Liang, seemingly lost in thought.

After a long silence, he finally spoke:

"Attorney Xu, what do you mean by this?"

"The Duan Group respects the professional ethics of every lawyer and will never slander or defame others."

"Or"

talking.

Zhou Ke paused for a moment, then crossed his legs, resting one hand on the armrest of the sofa and tapping the bank card on the table with the other.

"Kaka!"

A clear sound is produced when the fingertips touch the card surface.

"Or does Attorney Xu think we offered too little?"

Zhou Ke spoke gently as always.

"If you feel that the compensation is negotiable, that is something you can discuss with the group."

"How about 300,000?"

Three hundred thousand?
Three hundred thousand in 04, or three hundred thousand per month, would be enough to tempt any law firm!

After all, this is practically a windfall, so why not take advantage of it? You don't even have to do anything to earn 300,000 a month!

"Starting a law firm must be tough in the early stages, right? Attorney Xu, you might as well accept this money. That way, you can get some big cases sooner."

Zhou Ke pushed the card forward again, and said meaningfully:

"There's no need to waste time on worthless cases right now!"

worthless cases
Wu Yong?

It was still those two children, as thin as withered trees, who were beaten to death, and whose names were never even known until their deaths, like two stray dogs.

"Attorney Zhou is really judging others by his own standards."

Xu Liang sighed.

If the other person is described as a saint, then this is indeed a compliment.

but.
Zhou Ke is aware of his reputation and has a good understanding of himself!
The other party's words were pure sarcasm and insults!
If it were someone else, like Zhang Cheng or Liu Xun, they would have already turned against them.

But the words came back again.

This person is Zhou Ke!
"You flatter me, you flatter me. Attorney Xu, please consider it."

Zhou Ke said with a smile, showing no sign of being scolded, and it was unclear whether he understood the meaning behind Xu Liang's words.

"Don't think about it."

"Three hundred thousand a month, that's very generous!"

Xu Liang took the other party's bank card, stood up, and smiled.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ke's smile widened, but the next second...
A bank card was thrown at him!
"Snapped!"

The bank card was slapped onto his body and then slipped to the ground.

"But unfortunately, I am a human being."

"As a human being, I find it very difficult to live in a livestock pen with a bunch of beasts!"

"Attorney Zhou, take your money and get out of here!!!"

Xu Liang withdrew his hand from the card and sneered.

After saying that,

Zhou Ke's expression froze, then gradually turned cold.

His eyes were filled with a mixture of darkness and ambiguity. After a long while, he finally bent down to pick up the bank card.

"hehe."

"Since Attorney Xu has this attitude..."

Zhou Ke took a deep breath, stood up, and gave a polite smile.

"That"

See you in court!

Finished.

Zhou Ke didn't say anything more, clutching the bank card, he turned and strode out.

"Snapped!"

The door is closed.

"Oh, if you don't accept my toast, I'll drink a forfeit."

"You've already become a lawyer, so stop pretending to be innocent!"

Zhou Ke glanced back at the law firm, a shadow flashing in his eyes, before finally letting out a cold laugh.

Then, he got into the car and drove towards Duan Feipeng's home.

Since we can't bribe Xu Liang, we'll have to prove ourselves with our skills!
Before long, Zhou Ke's figure disappeared.

Inside the law firm.

"That beastly bastard!!!"

A curse rang out on the stairs leading to the second floor.

Xu Liang looked up.

It turned out to be Yang Ruoxi, who was clenching her fists and gritting her teeth as she looked at the door that Zhou Ke had closed.

"Alright, they're gone, no need to avoid them anymore."

Xu Liang waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, the two girls in the corner stopped eavesdropping and quickly walked to Xu Liang's side.

"I knew this beast wouldn't come looking for anything good!"

"He's very adept at this tactic; he'll settle things with money and never go to court. I don't know how many times he's done it!"

Yang Ruoxi said in a muffled voice.

In a daze, she seemed to remember something, looked at Xu Liang, and smiled again.

"You were quite handsome just now, yarn!"

"That scene of him smashing the card... No wonder he's my boss!"

As she spoke, she exuded a strange sense of pride.

50!
This isn't 50 yuan, or 500 yuan, it's 500,000!
Xu Liang spent the entire second half of the year racking his brains to only manage three court hearings, one of which even attracted a joint investigation by six departments.
All together, it's only a mere 400,000!
It took almost six months of hard work to earn 400,000!

And just now.
Zhou Ke paid a meeting fee of 500,000 yuan and even offered a contract for 300,000 yuan per month!
That's at least 3.6 million a year, plus another 500,000, making a total of 4.1 million in benefits!!!
If this level of law firm were in Chengen Law Firm, the contract would probably already be signed!

But the other party...
Without even blinking, he threw the card at the other person's face!

This isn't just a card falling, it's four million! Four million in 04!!!
at this time.

Yang Ruoxi looked at Xu Liang with increasing admiration, and her heart pounded.

"Hehe, those four million aren't so easy to get."

Xu Liang said something indifferently, then sat down on the sofa.

"No industry that doesn't exploit people to the bone; do you really think you can make money without doing anything?"

"There will be a lot of shady things to deal with then!"

Furthermore…

As he spoke, Xu Liang frowned and said disdainfully:

"Who does he think I am?!"

"Why would he think I would accept four million?!"

After he finished speaking, an inexplicable aura spread out.

From the moment he entered, Zhou Ke never imagined that Xu Liang would refuse!

In other words, the other party had already projected his own experience onto others, assuming that Xu Liang would be just as eager to lick Duan Jianhao's shoes as he was when he saw money!
Su Yu's heartbeat quickened, and her gaze softened.

"Senior brother, you're so handsome!"

She pursed her lips and spoke, while thinking to herself:
'Just as Teacher Wu said, my senior brother will not bow down for a pittance!'

just
"This five hundred thousand."

Su Yu suddenly paused, and hesitated before turning her gaze to the other 500,000 on the table.

Yes.

There was also a card on the table.

However, this card was not a bribe or a meeting fee, but rather, as Zhou Ke said, compensation for Su Yu's emotional distress.

"Take it."

Xu Liang spoke calmly.

"But it wasn't accepted under the guise of compensation."

"This is evidence that Zhou Ke bribed me in an attempt to get me to cooperate with him in court!"

Evidence?

Su Yu was stunned. After she figured it out, she hesitated and wondered if she had misheard.

"Senior brother, this..."

"Don't think too much."

"This is the evidence that Zhou Ke wanted to collude with me and bribe me!"

Xu Liang said with a serious expression, "The court and the procuratorate can investigate my family situation!"

"All of my law firm's funds are transparent and public, and, in any case, this money was brought by Zhou Ke!"

"Then we only need to hand it over to the court." "I believe that a just and upright judge will deliver a fair verdict!"

Su Yu was shocked, a double shock!
this.
Is this really possible?!
"Hmph, Maoxian was just stating Zhou Kelai's true intentions."

Yang Ruoxi happily accepted the evidence.

She was already used to Xu Liang's courtroom style and didn't feel anything was wrong at this moment.

Anyway, Zhou Ke didn't record it.

At that time, Xu Liang only needed to forcibly pull down his pants, stuff the mud into his crotch, and naturally...
Even if it's not shit, it's still shit!
What? Jinjiang Hotels has explicit provisions for compensation?
That's treating people like fools.
just
"You're taking on a case, Maoxian?"

Yang Ruoxi suddenly realized that Xu Liang's words contained a hidden meaning, and asked in surprise.

Should it be handed over to the judge?

Under what name should it be submitted to the judge?
lawyer?

If he were a lawyer, then Xu Liang would have to take the case!

"You don't think we have a second option, do you?"

Xu Liang spoke in a deep voice.

"Even if we don't take the case, Zhou Ke might still retaliate against me afterward!"

From the moment Zhou Ke came to his door, he really had no choice.

They either collude with the other party and become dogs for the Duan Group.

Either you wait to be retaliated against by the other party afterwards!
These days, anyone who can build a large conglomerate's physical businesses is bound to be domineering, and Duan Jianhao must have other people's blood on his hands too!

That's why Zhou Ke never expected Xu Liang to refuse the money.
"I really didn't intend to take the case at first."

“Duan Feipeng is a minor, so a trial would be pointless, and it would take me at least three months.”

"but"

Xu Liang suddenly took a deep breath and interlaced his fingers.

"Since they've pushed us to this point..."

Whether the case is pursued or not, it will be investigated and punished; that's just how it is.
Xu Liang's eyes were deep and he said in a hard voice:

"Then fight!"

The three words were like an adrenaline injection into Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu's bodies, instantly making their blood boil.

"how to spell?"

Yang Ruoxi became excited.

She wasn't afraid of the Duan Group, but how to defeat them was a problem.

Hear the words.

Xu Liang chuckled softly.

"Heh, Zhou Ke probably doesn't even realize that he has already exposed a fatal flaw!"

"What's the problem?" Su Yu was suddenly taken aback.

"Zhou Ke lacked the determination to win."

Xu Liang spoke up.

"He tried to bribe me, subconsciously because he wasn't confident of winning the trial!"

The more ignorant one is, the more fearless one becomes; the more knowledgeable one is, the more cautious one is!
for example.

Online, you may often see people spouting nonsense about your major. Everything they say is utter rubbish, yet they have the courage to refute you and are unwavering in their belief in their own theories!
The other party knew nothing, and what they said made no sense at all, yet they were surprisingly fearless.

On the contrary, you are very humble when it comes to certain things because you understand them.

This is the meaning of ignorance and fearlessness, erudition and caution!
The same applies from Zhou Ke's perspective!

"He is Duan Feipeng's lawyer, or you could say his private lawyer who specializes in cleaning up his messes!"

"He knows everything about Duan Feipeng, he knows all the information, and because of this, he knows Duan Feipeng's weaknesses even better!"

A glint of light flashed in Xu Liang's eyes.

"That's why he was cautious, and that's why he tried to bribe me!"

And what about the perspectives of the others?

Because of ignorance, I didn't know the details about Duan Feipeng.

Therefore, we are fearless.

Everyone, including Chen Changchun, believed that even evidence of a conviction would be useless.
But then Zhou Ke came to try and bribe Xu Liang.
in other words.

This case
There must be a loophole!!!

Xu Liang's eyes flashed.

In an instant, the skill I had acquired last time, "Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart," surfaced in my mind!

He kept replaying Zhou Ke's every move in his mind, and his brain began to deduce the loopholes.

pity.

There's a reason why Zhou Ke is called a litigious man.

Although they knew there were vulnerabilities, they were still unable to make any further progress!
"But where is the vulnerability?"

Yang Ruoxi and the other woman were puzzled. From any perspective, Zhou Ke seemed destined to win.

"do not know."

Xu Liang shook his head, collected his thoughts, pondered for a moment, then stood up and said:

"But in any case"

"The most important thing right now is to take on these cases!"

Finished.

Xu Liang then stood up and walked outside.

This world is different from the previous one. In criminal cases, lawyers can also apply to act as plaintiffs. Of course, they will be held accountable indefinitely, and the evidence will be carefully examined.

It is already 6:30 pm.

But speed is of the essence in war!
Xu Liang took Yang Ruoxi and drove directly to the Criminal Investigation Brigade under the cover of night!

7 p.m.

Inside the police station.

"Ugh"

In the parking lot.

Chen Changchun sat in the driver's seat, smoking with a complicated expression, the car filled with the smell of smoke.

He has been sitting here for half an hour.

Chen Changchun should have left work at 6:30, but he still hasn't left.
The case weighed heavily on his chest like a boulder, and the lack of information kept him tossing and turning all night, unable to sleep.

Today, Duan Feipeng was also taken away.
I recall Wu Yong's expression in the interrogation room.

And the image of Duan Feipeng swaggering out of the police station.
Chen Changchun silently smoked his cigarette.

Suddenly a voice rang out beside him.

"Squeak~!"

The sound of brakes rang out, accompanied by Xu Liang's uniquely teasing voice.

"Captain Chen, how many boxes have you had today?"

"All that hard-earned salary goes into your lungs, doesn't it?"

Hear the words.

Chen Changchun, who was in the car, suddenly froze and turned to look at the person beside him.

But then he saw Xu Liang park his car in the parking space and looking at him with a teasing tone.

"Fuck off!"

Chen Changchun grumbled and cursed, but didn't smoke anymore, and put the cigarette pack away.

Then he looked at the other person with a puzzled expression.

What are you doing at the police station so late at night?

"doing what?"

"Of course, we'll take the case!"

Xu Liang spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Chen Changchun paused, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes.

"You want to take this case!?"

His tone was tinged with excitement.

Chen Changchun trusted Xu Liang's abilities.

The other party will never do something they are not confident about!

The fact that the other party seems interested in taking on Duan Feipeng's case suggests that...
Things might have taken a turn for the better!
"Yes."

Xu Liang nodded.

"But I can't guarantee anything, I can only give it a try."

"Captain Chen, please do me the favor and let me have a chat with Wu Yong."

Upon hearing this, Chen Changchun was immediately overjoyed and said:
"Alright, that's easy!"

Finished.

He hurriedly got out of the car and headed back towards the office building.

The human heart is made of flesh.

Although Chen Changchun had long since become numb, he was still a human being with emotions and desires!
How could he not want Duan Feipeng to be brought to justice?
Xu Liang followed and sat down in the hall with Yang Ruoxi.

Before long, Chen Changchun reappeared in the hall, looking at the two of them and saying:
"Go to the detention room and talk!"
